Summer Songs 2 represents a high watermark for Lil Yachty in a banner year thus far. Recently, XXL named him among its coveted 2016 "Freshmen Class", claiming "Atlanta's red-haired wonder Lil Yachty tackles the beat next and although he's the youngest in the bunch, he's anything but shy when it comes to dropping his 16."

A definite phenomenon, King of the Teens, Lil Yachty's March mixtape Lil Boat, spawned the viral hit "One Night," which amassed over 14 million Spotify streams and counting in a few months' time in addition to fan favorites such as "Minnesota" (feat. Quavo, Skippa da Flippa, Young Thug).

The New York Times described how, "His performance last week was as rowdy as his songs are trippy" and called him "the ascendant microstar of Atlanta's decentered hip-hop scene," while an in-depth profile Noisey said, "In
just the last couple of months, the Atlanta artist has become one of
rap's most buzzed-about new names, an avatar of the genre's
contemporary, unmoored sound and visual aesthetic with a dizzyingly
fast-growing listenership and a growing roster of clutch industry
connections."

At 18-years- old, Lil Yachty
has boldly steered music into unmapped territory, blazed an unmarked
trail, and galvanized an impressive and fervent fan base. He kicks off
his first official tour "The Boat Show Tour" in August.

the night's host DJ Suss One announced that Lil Yachty was about to hit
the stage, the Yachty chants were instantly deafening." - BILLBOARD
